  3. It’s so weird as an American to agree 100% with all of these headlines from the UK, Canada, and basically the rest of the world. I feel deep shame in a way that I’ve never felt before. Everyone should throw hate and scorn on us, because we deserve it.

  4. It is so sad to watch the downfall of a nation that has achieved so much. It is even sadder knowing that the utter incompetence of this administration was so blatantly foretold yet ignored. However, the saddest part of all is that nobody has the balls to stand up to this regime.

  5. America is role playing Keeping up with the Kardasians while the rest of the world is role playing Survivor and we’ve just been voted off the island. And only Trump and Maga think that is good.

  6. Putin is committing daylight robbery of the richest country in the world. It’s so hilariously obvious, gotta give him props for brain washing 25% of the country in to enabling him.

  7. By definition we are now a fascist oligarchy. Congratulations to President Putin and drop dead.

  8. American Exceptionalism is believing we’re number one at everything while not putting in the effort to be number one at anything.

    In the MAGA bubble, they are 100% fine with this. It’s really easy to pretend you’re the best nation on earth when you can’t even point to France on a map.

  9. Good, the free world needs a leader who believes in freedom. I nominate Canada.

  11. Freedom is just one of the many values that Republicans no longer espouse.

  13. Democracy
    ….. the 249 year experiment is over…

    And oh yeah a solid FUCK YOU to every fucking Maga supporter…

    And for the people who didn’t vote…a mighty fuck you as well…

  15. That happened back in 2015 and was confirmed in 2024.

    You don’t elect a fascist who attempted a coup on the very office he now sits in and still get to call yourself the capitol of the free world.

  17. Took seven weeks.

    If our country is just always one election and seven weeks away from losing literally everything, then it was never designed well to begin with. An absolute joke.

  18. In America a 10 year old girl with cancer under treatment, who is a US citizen gets brutally deported and an innocent person with legal status and no criminal record gets deported for having a football (soccer) logo tattoo to El Salvador prison, while literal Nazis and terrorists get a free pass or even rewarded.

  21. Was over as soon as Nazi morons were deemed the better vote over Kamala Harris.

  22. It will never cease to amaze me that we threw away 250 years over one big dumb asshole.

  23. Honestly, it was all downhill when the Republican party allowed the bat shit eaters in like Sarah Palin. They invited them in and the lunatics took over the asylum.

  24. I’ve been trying to make this case to my American friends since Trump started pulling all this nonsense. “Leader of the Free World” is a bestowed title; not a title inherent by simply being “Americans”. The whole reason America was ever even in any discussion with a European concern like the Russia Ukraine war was due to their shared belief in the rules based democratic order. The soft power their backing for it got them was not only a seat at the table; but arguably the head seat at the table. Now there’s a legitimate question of if they should even be at the kid’s table, let alone leading negations with Russia. Who asked you!? We’ll see how long your isolationism allows your American exceptionalism to still shine when no one cares anymore and the rest of the world has simply moved on. All that military spending and good will wasn’t an empty cost, the rest of the world doesn’t owe you anything for it, you already got what you paid for, it bought you something; the title and power of Leader of the Free World. It was an investment, and now you’re just throwing it in the bin.

  25. It’s funny.

    We know Russians, Chinese and other countries meddle in political interference.

    Yet, we all pretend we’re not suspectiable to it and it only impacts others out there.

  26. I believe we’re well on our way to being a third world dictatorship. We might already be there.

  27. We installed a fascist dictator to own the libs.

    This is what half the country wanted. Good job.

    I still don’t know if I actually want to submit my taxes for this year willingly.

  28. Our allies are not going to share intelligence with us, why should they?

  30. It’s even ceased to be the leader of a FREE COUNTRY

  31. You guys say leader, we, the rest of the world say Warmonger brutal occupation force

  33. The real problem is a huge number of Americans simply don’t care. They will insist that they just want America to be “respected” but really they mean feared. If you say that America is acting like global mercenaries that stand for nothing but getting paid, it makes them happy. The America they want is completely reflected in the person they voted for.

    This is a reflection of American society in general. As a society, we don’t revere wisdom, knowledge, or kindness. Instead, most desire wealth and strength because these inspire fear that we justify by calling respect. I suppose that is the reason we like guns so much. If you can’t be wealthy and powerful, you can still hold a gun and inspire the respect (fear) that is craved.

    I guess what I’m saying is: don’t bother trying to explain to them that America isn’t the champion of democracy or the city on the hill anymore. They don’t care… they would much rather be the bully feared by everyone.

  34. We are watching the collapse of an empire!
    The Romans gave the restless public bread and circuses to distract them from what was really going on. Might be more that what the American people are getting right now with Trump

  35. I’m fine with that. I hate Trump but as an American I’m tired of this country calling the shots and constantly stepping in shit, organizing coups, financing wars to oust despots that end up financing despots to replace them. Europe step up please and stand up to China/Russia. Someone else can lead the world while we figure out free fucking healthcare.

  36. If we can get our heads out of our asses and kill the myth of American exceptionalism, maybe we can start actually making the country better.

  37. Wrong. Fake news. Probably illegal in some way. Very nasty people at Telegraph. We are in the Golden Age of America. I’ve been giving America a golden shower!!! -Trump, probably

  38. 250 years of building an empire. Gone in six fucking weeks. All because one man is a psychopath who couldn’t stand losing his power. Fuck.
